Question

Green and Blue paints are mixed in the ratio 2:3 to make a new colour. 5 litters more of Blue than Green is taken. How many litters of each is mixed?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Green paint is mixed 10 lit. and blue paint is mixed 15 lit. to make a new colour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of green and paints = 2 :3

Let quantity of green paint mixed = 2x lit.

Quantity of blue paint mixed = 3x lit.

According to the problem,

3x =2x + 5

3x - 2x =5

x = 5

∴ Quantity of green paint mixed = 2 ×5 = 10 lit.

Quantity of blue paint mixed = 3 × 5 = 15 lit.

Answer 2

Answer:

Green is used 10liters.

Blue is used 15liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

G:B=2:3

3G-2B=0...(i)

It is given that 5l more of blue than green is taken. So,

B=G+5...(ii)

Now, put B=G+5...in (i)

3G-2(G+5)=0

3G-2G-10=0

G=10

Hence, put value of G=10 In..(ii)

B=10+5

B=15

Hence, green is taken 10l and blue is taken 15l.
